The 10. Section, of Sophonias.

Sophonie was of the tribe of Simeon, borne in the mount Sarabatha. Epiphanius.

Sophonias the prophet, descended of noble progenitours. Chusa was his father, Godolias his grandfather, Amarias his great grandfather, Ezechias father to his great grandfa∣ther: who all by the tradition of the Hebrewes, were also pro∣phets. Hier. in 1. cap. Sophon.

Sophonias prophecied in Hierusalem, and in all Iewrie: he foretold the day, in which all their idolles should be ouerthrow∣en, and affliction come vpon them. He also prophecied of our Sauiour, and of his resurrection. After that hee preached a∣gainst Gaza, Ascalon, Azoto, Accaron, Moab, Ammō, Damas∣cus, Niniuie, & against the Aethiopians. Athanas. in synopsi.

Sophonias prophecied in the dayes of Iosias the sonne of Amon the king of Iuda: and so it is euident, that he propheci∣ed before the captiuitie of Babylon. cap. 1. Sophon. & Lyranus ibidem.
